In my latest article on NBC, I discuss how to grocery shop like a pro. And this the ULTIMATE tip…

Don’t skip the staples. “I’ll never leave the grocery store without B.A.G.E.L.S — that’s my acronym for berries, avocado, greek yogurt, eggs, lettuce and scallions,” Beckerman says. “These are staples in my house and I’ll find a use for them in my cooking throughout the week, no matter what.” These whole foods make a great choice for a grab-and-go snack, or they help add flavor and variety to many meals.

Plus, I go into the DEETS on the best lunch boxes, how to meal prep, and what to throw on a sheet pan.
